Method Detail

isAbstract

boolean isAbstract()

Returns the value of the 'Abstract' attribute.

It represents whether the class is abstract in the Java sense. For an abstract class, the generated implementation class will be abstract, and the generated factory will not provide support for creating an instance.

Returns:

the value of the 'Abstract' attribute.

See Also:

setAbstract(boolean), EcorePackage.getEClass_Abstract()

setAbstract

void setAbstract(boolean value)

Sets the value of the 'Abstract' attribute.

Parameters:

value - the new value of the 'Abstract' attribute.

See Also:

isAbstract()

isInterface

boolean isInterface()

Returns the value of the 'Interface' attribute.

It represents whether the class is an interface in the Java sense. For an interface class, there will be no generated implementation class.

Returns:

the value of the 'Interface' attribute.

See Also:

setInterface(boolean), EcorePackage.getEClass_Interface()

setInterface

void setInterface(boolean value)

Sets the value of the 'Interface' attribute.

Parameters:

value - the new value of the 'Interface' attribute.

See Also:

isInterface()

getESuperTypes

EList<EClass> getESuperTypes()

Returns the value of the 'ESuper Types' reference list. The list contents are of type EClass.

It represents the super types in the Java sense, i.e., the super class and the direct implemented interfaces, and is derived from the generic super types.

Returns:

the value of the 'ESuper Types' reference list.

See Also:

getEGenericSuperTypes(), getEAllSuperTypes(), EcorePackage.getEClass_ESuperTypes()

Returns the value of the 'EAll Super Types' reference list. The list contents are of type EClass.

It represents the closure of all inherited super types and is derived from the generic super types.

Returns:

the value of the 'EAll Super Types' reference list.

See Also:

getESuperTypes(), , EcorePackage.getEClass_EAllSuperTypes()

getEIDAttribute

EAttribute getEIDAttribute()

Returns the value of the 'EID Attribute' reference.

It represents the attribute that will be used as the ID of an instance.

Returns:

the value of the 'EID Attribute' reference.

See Also:

EAttribute.isID(), EcorePackage.getEClass_EIDAttribute()

getEStructuralFeatures

EList<EStructuralFeature> getEStructuralFeatures()

Returns:

the value of the 'EStructural Features' containment reference list.

See Also:

EcorePackage.getEClass_EStructuralFeatures(), EStructuralFeature.getEContainingClass()

getEGenericSuperTypes

EList<EGenericType> getEGenericSuperTypes()

Returns the value of the 'EGeneric Super Types' containment reference list. The list contents are of type EGenericType.

It represents the generic super types in the Java sense, i.e., the super class and the direct implemented interfaces. The super types list is derived from this one, i.e., it represents the erasure of each generic super type.

Returns:

the value of the 'EGeneric Super Types' containment reference list.

Since:

2.3
